50 facts about your skin and why this organ is awesome

The guys at BeautyFlash.co.uk have created an interesting infographic about the skin with some details that not many of us knew. For example, our skin is the largest organ in our body, it weights 15% of our body weight and is has a surface of about 2 square meters.

What is interesting to know is that the skin from different parts of our body is created strictly for that part of body, having a given thickness and shape. On it we grow hairs, proteins called keratin, and the same keratin is located on our outer layer of skin and in our fingernails.
